Describe the energy changes involved when the vehicle is accelerating along the horizontal road. I don't know what are the energy changes during the process. Thanks.

i do not know if the theory behind this will work, but seems plausable now as far as i know, we have not attained the speed of light in any man made vehicle, however, 1/4 the speed of light seems a much more plausable situation. in this experiment, the set up looks somthing like this...

hello, i need to calculate acceleration of a vehicle. I have power (70 bhp), Tractive force (498N). Can someone help me please. I know i should use dv/dt but i can't remember how to do differential equations. Also I need the formula to include downforce as I am designing a rear wing. does...

A stunt vehical leaves and incline with a speed of 35 m/s at a height of 52-m above level ground. Air reistance is negligible. Find the vehicals time of flight? Well i found the x and y components of the vehicals velocity. And i know to use d = Vit + 1/2at² giving me: -52 = 16.4t +...

I'm looking into implementing some parts of drive by wire on an SUV and need assistance determing the load requirement for steering effort. Braking force is widely published as roughly 150 lbs of pressure but I am unable to find a similar estimate of force needed to turn a steering wheel. I'm...

What would be the state of a universe that contains only antimatter? Is it in a state of contraction or expansion similar to ours? As what Feynman diagram shows antiparticles travel backward in time, so if we can transform ordinary matter into antimatter by changing the protons to...

Presently, and still in use, my '84 s-10 pick up with 261,000+ miles. what about you or someone you know?

A Rubber Band?? OK...i need your help people... i have to construct a vehical that can transport a 1 Kg weight over 10 meters using any materials i please...here's the catch: Its only source of power can be a size-10 rubber band! It can have no other source of power and it cannot be launched...

Here is the question: Q. A highway curve that has a radius of curvature of 100m is banked at an angle of 15 degree. a) Determine the vehicle speed for which this curve is appropriate if there is no friction between the road and the tires of the vehicle. On a dry day when friction is...

Ok, awfully long subject, but its an attention getter. Anyhow, my friends and I have been wanting to build small, 1 - 2 seater transport vehicles. I've got some basics on my ideas, hoping to get as light of a vehicle as possible, while meeting modern safety and emmission standards. So for...
